Chapter 74 - Relieve (1) (2/2)

”I'm fine. But Master ...” Bai Xu held the knob hesitantly. ”Are you sure, Miss Ling?”

Ling Yue adjusted her breathing, preparing herself. 'Is it so bad that Bai Xu asked that?, Without Ling Yue knowing, deep inside, her heart felt torn. Fear began to enveloped her.

She asked herself why she felt that way. Ling Yue suddenly felt unable to move.

”Miss Ling? Are you OK?” Bai Xu looked worried when he saw Ling Yue's face suddenly turned pale.

'This is not a good idea' Bai Xu held her slowly. ”Miss Ling, you better not need to enter if—”

”No. Let me in.” she said firmly despite shaking.

Tears began to float in her eyes.

Bai Xu sighed. ”If you insist ...”

Bai Xu turned the door handle and pushed it. Ling Yue followed Bai Xu behind him closely. She felt she was walking on a thorny floor, each step feels heavy. She did not dare lift her face.

Bai Xu stopped.

Ling Yue also stopped.

”Miss Ling ...” Bai Xu glanced at her again. ”I'll leave first.” and then he left.

Ling Yue traced the floor in front of her, slowly until her eyes stared at the end of the black shoes that still clung to the feet, continued to climb into the bandaged hands and continued to trace Xi Jian's body until their eyes met.

”What are you doing here?” Xi Jian looked at her angrily.

Ling Yue almost choked on her own tears. She could not see clearly, but Xi Jian's voice pierced her eardrum. She blinked many times making her tears fall hard. She was relieved. Although the tone of his voice wasn't friendly, Ling Yue was truly relieved.
